Few actors and actresses are as well-known to the general public as Tim Allen for their appearances in television shows and films.
It should go without saying that he’s made his fair share of friends over the years; after all, with the number of individuals Tim has worked with, you’d think he’d have a who’s who of contacts in his phone book.
However, the man adds that there is one person in the entertainment sector in whom he has the most faith. It’s fitting that he was played by a man in one of the best children’s movies ever made.
During a visit to Kelly Clarkson’s show, Allen recently described his quick friendship with Tom Hanks.
“He and I disagree on so many issues. I admire that man’s heart and mind,” stated Allen of Hanks.
“We’ve been going to lunch twice a year since Toy Story 1, and we’re like two older women because we sit almost too close at a booth,” Allen explained.
In fact, when filming Toy Story 1, Hanks was observed taking fries from his co-star’s plate.
Allen admitted that he had never experienced anything like it before, especially given that he had grown up in a household where it was not expected.
“And I don’t think I’ve ever trusted a human being as much as Tom to even listen to me, let alone listen to me.” We have significantly different perspectives on so many issues, but he’s convinced me that he’s a lovely and engaging person. He’s the first guy that pays attention to me and doesn’t pass judgment.”
I don’t know about you, but I am happy to see two such likable people form such close friendships. Despite spending so much time at the pinnacle of their careers, Hanks and Allen have generally avoided scandal.
That, in my opinion, speaks volumes about their moral character.
